Thanks Dr for your immediate response. I would be grateful if you could explain the consequences of getting pregnant with fibroid. I have seen some articles in internet, that there may be chance of miscarriage and complications during delivery, in case of presence of fibroid.It is learnt that the hormonal changes in pregnancy periods tends to increase the size of fibroid and it leads to miscarriage or bleeding. Is there any medicine available to shrink the fibroid naturally. If so, how long it should consume to shrink the size of fibroid.

My height is 154 cm and my weight is 58 kg. Is there any need to reduce my weight? Is there any particular diet available to shrink the fibroid?

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,Pregnancy with fibroids has complications like abortions, fetal growth restriction, preterm birth and excessive bleeding in post delivery periods.
Moreover, fibroids can increase in pregnancy due to increased blood supply. However, medicines relieve the pain and nothing needs to be done in such a situation.
There is no natural method or diet to shrink the fibroid.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
